Pretty interesting post and info: http://www.inpredictable.com/2015/03/offensive-versus-defensive-pace-in-nba.html Spoiler Spoiler Houston is one of the few good defensive teams who are also "fast paced" on D (i.e., spend fewer seconds per possession than other teams). It makes sense for the Rockets-- which gambles for steals and try to force turnovers. Kind of weird that Portland is also "fast paced on D while not forcing many turnovers at all.
It's weird that on the seconds per possession on defense the first and last place team are only separated by 1 second.
